I saw it earlier today and loved it! Reminded me of how my friends and I would bypass our school’s blocks on Ebaumsworld just to watch the Numa Numa guy. Also Kelly (the “Shoes” guy) looks exactly the same

They haven’t fired Anthony Enzor-DeMeo, yet, have they? If not then it’s just another slop project.
